Windows Vista 64 bits "Error 0x80300001 Unable to instal to that location....."

[Guest Pablo MLM]

Hello.

I've been trying for several hours now, to install Windows Vista 64 bits on my PC.

Here are my specs.

Asrock n68-vs3 UCC

Athlon II X3 3.3ghz

2GB Kingston ddr3 1333 mhz

Seagate Barracuda "7200" 200GB IDE HDD

 

I have an IDE DVD drive but due to technical limitations I cannot connect both my HDD and my DVD drive to my IDE Connector on the Motherboard.

Because of this I used my Windows Vista 64 bits DVD (which by the way is in perfect state and i have no reason to suspect data corruption) to create a Bootable Windows Vista USB.

The system boots up to the installation screen and It does recognize the Drive and both its partitions, but I get the MSG "Unable to install to that location etc... error 0x80300001"

What Can I do?

Ive tried using another USB drive to install HDD SATA-IDE drivers that came with the Motherboard, but I keep getting the same error

and Yes! i am pretty sure i have the Windows instail USB back on after I install the drivers.

I cant figure this one out and I dont think its because of my IDE drive since I was able to install Windows Vista 32 bit using the same drive with no problem at all.

Help !
